Modernity and the Spirit of Truth

Viac o knihe

The book delves into the tension between modern self-awareness and the reluctance to confront uncomfortable truths about our nature. It explores the human tendency to create justifications for our flaws and the fear that acknowledging them may lead to a painful self-realization. Central to this exploration is the idea that truth is embodied in a person who evokes shame, as he reflects both our inhumanity and our potential for growth and maturity. This conflict highlights the struggle between desire for authenticity and the comfort of denial.
